Lately my minds been such a mess
That I've had no relief and no rest
Too fcused on being a mother I forgot everything else
Forgotten how being my own person felt
I've become a shell of who I used to be
I look in the mirror and don't even see me
All I see is circles under my eyes
And the ugly shades of my hair from fading dye
Nails bitten don so far they bleed
From trying to fill everyone elses needs
Expected to be a giving mother and wife
To which I've dedicated my life
Not that I'm not thankful, I am
I get to stay at home while he works his ass off for uncle sam
It's just to the point where I stopped caring for myself
And had too much pride to ever ask for helpĀ
Now I'm stuck in this chaos of my mind with no reprieve
This smile is only meant to decieve
I can only hope this darkness will eventually leave
